Just in time for the new watches to arrive tomorrow…
There have been complaints about battery life, and, hopefully, they removed the “are you sure?” When ending a workout, that is the dumbest “feature” ever

Does it fix a bug of my Watch Series 6 conveniently staying at 80% battery health for more than half a year so I cannot cancel AppleCare+? Would be great!
